THE FISH
J. marlieri
Julidochromis marlieri
| HABITS |
|
These fish are extremely territorial and stay very close to their chosen position in the aquarium, normally near some nooks and crannies. They guard this area with a passion, which is even more heightened if they start to mate. Some pairs of fish just don't get along and you will need to swap one before the other dominates it to death. The larger your aquarium, the better the success rate of raising these fish, as is the case with most lake cichlids of this type.
